The Matriarchy of Oakgall is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 388 million Oakgallians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Oakgallian economy, worth 13.4 trillion acorns a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,591 acorns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, Leader's office has a newly installed Max-Man arcade game programmed by a 5th-grader, t-shirts displaying a photo of Leader performing the Full-Monty are selling out, and corporations are forbidden from employing outside the nation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Oakgall's national animal is the forest boar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Oakgall is ranked 270,821^st in the world and 302^nd in Refugia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 9,097.48 Standard Monetary Units.
